1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) studies increasingly combine expression-based and mutation-derived signals, but small-cohort designs with repeated runs from the same biological unit can make standard cross-validation overly optimistic. We reanalyzed PRJNA736095 (14 SRR runs from 7 GSM/donor proxies) using a GATK-centered RNA-seq variant-calling and gene-burden workflow, then evaluated mutation-derived, expression-only, and combined feature sets with leakage-safe preprocessing inside each validation fold. Run-level repeated stratified cross-validation showed high within-dataset separability for GATK gene-burden features (balanced accuracy 0.973 +/- 0.113), but GSM-grouped leave-one-GSM-out validation reduced balanced accuracy to 0.708 and exact GSM-level permutation testing was not significant (
